It's not that bad :) It recovers 20 if it can. It releases what it can't recover i.e. old ones.

EDIT: I have wondered how you ghost so many ... is it because of corrupt client_state because of the large amount of tasks it is trying to handle?

Sometimes one of the GPUs goes to an error state and all started apps begin to say 'can not determine number of CPUs' and the tasks error out. If I hit reset project then before they are uploaded they become ghosts. That is my explanation.To overcome Heisenbergs:

I had a whole pile of "crash and burn" tasks just after the splitters came back. From memory they were all GUPPI from one target star. It looked to me that it was a very noisy data set going through.Bob Smith

Make that paused at 118,000. It's now hit 123,000 and the splitters are now down to 30/s.

Splitters now down to <13/s.
Ready-to-send buffer has now gone from draining slowly, to almost free fall.
Hopefully things will sort themselves out over the next couple of hours, but if not then get 'em while you can.

Edit- splitters just hit 40/s, so panic delayed (returned per hour still climbing, but at a much slower rate than it is has been).Grant

Well, before the Server Status information died, it looks like the Ready to send buffer still hadn't fully recovered, but there was a drop in the work being returned per hour that allowed it to recover more than it was. Splitter output was still poor.
Add to that, WUs Awaiting deletion for both AP & MB are backing up- something there is having issues of it's own (and that started around the same time splitter output dropped away) As to whether there's any relation between the two, no idea.Grant

...but there's work coming out over on Beta, so maybe they've grabbed the bits and bytes needed ;-)Bob Smith
